Union Memorial Hospital is a non-profit, acute care teaching hospital located in the North Central section of Baltimore, Maryland. (It is not to be confused with Union Hospital, which is in Elkton.)
Some noted persons have spent time at the hospital. Jazz leader Chick Webb worked in the hospital as a youngster and Mickey Mantle received treatment, as well. In 1939, noted gangster Al Capone spent time at the hospital to cure his syphilis, after his release from Alcatraz. He was so delighted with the care he received, that he donated a cherry tree to the hospital, which still grows today.
Union Memorial was ranked among the nation’s top 100 heart hospitals in 2006 and was rated a best place to work by the Baltimore Business Journal.
Union Memorial is a member of MedStar Health, a community-based network of eight of the Baltimore/Washington area’s hospitals and other health care services.
